Romans 3: 24, “being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus ;”(NASB)
Justified in the Greek means we are declared ‘not guilty’ by God. Freely carries the promise that any payment presented by the sinner not only is not accepted, but nullifies that which God has given freely. Ephesians 2: 9, “not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”(NASB)
Grace in Greek signified a favor done out of the spontaneous generosity of the heart without any expectation of return. When the Greeks exhibited grace, this favor of whatever nature was always done to one’s friend, never to an enemy. Read More
Romans 3: 23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God,” (NASB)
The statement sums up why we need Jesus. God can not have sin around Him at all; He is a thrice Holy God. The idea that we come short of the glory of God means He can not look at us and see something worth salvaging. Think about it like this; God bought a worthless landfill to built His Kingdom so He’s got a lot of excavating to do. Isn’t that just wonderful God wants to use us for His Kingdom?
As we have learned sin means to miss the mark that God has set the standards which we have not come close to living up to them. Read More
Romans 3: 22, “even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.”(NASB)
As long as we have our faith in the Finished Work of the Cross we are made righteous. This means everybody, as along as you stay in Christ you are justified. This is an all emphatic statement.
Since there is one Saviour, there is one Salvation. The Love of God, John 3: 16, is for all who believe in Jesus. Now this does not mean that you just believe in Jesus of the history books. Read More
Romans 3: 21- 31
Bible Study
Justified is a legal term, it means to pronounce ‘not guilty‘. To put it in simple language, it means the Act of God in removing the guilt and the penalty of sin from the sinner who places their Faith in the Lord Jesus as Saviour. We are born guilty because we are born with a Sin Nature. I’m sorry if you did know that.
The Sin Nature is the result of the Fall in Genesis 3: 1- 7. You might be thinking that this is wrong, you weren’t in the garden. Okay, don’t lie not even a little white lie. See, Adam & Eve represented the entirety of the Human Race, Romans 5: 12- 14; giving half the chance we would do it our way. ‘It’s your thang do what you wanna do, I can’t tell you who to sock it to.’ Right? Psalms 51: 5, “Behold, I was shaped in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.”(KJV) Read More
